FYI - No indoor dining - CASH ONLY but trust me worth it! I came here for their famous chili cheese fries and I am sooo glad I did!!!!!! Chili cheese fries did not disappoint. I ordered half an order of chili cheese fries and Im sooo glad I did! Ordered a grilled cheese as well which was good. I mean its a grilled cheese not too many ways to mess that up. I wasnt impressed with their fry sauce I am from Utah where fry sauce came from so i have high expectations for fry sauce. Paid $12 for small chili cheese fries which were huge and packed with flavor! I would go back again for the chili cheese fries! Did I say yum? Large menu offering breakfast items as well.

The food is good. Hate the drive there and the plaza it's in is by and large not my favorite. I don't like the drive through. BUT the food is GOOD. More than a solid burger joint. Happy with every meal I have had from here.

This place has the best fries in the biggest portion when you order a hamburger combo. Everything always tastes fresh & is cooked right on point. Plus, they’re super fast even though the place is tiny with 2 drive-thru’s (only outdoor seating). Seems like all the guys there work well together totally in sync. One of Wilmington’s token spots to catch.

Damn that was good food! Best hole in the wall burger place! We were in town for a concert and my boyfriend wanted burgers. I trusted the reviews of this place and it did not disappoint. The burgers are great, the thousand island on the side was so good. Now I know why they give those out extra. We also got a small chili cheese fry. Everything was so good. Get the chili peppers to eat with your burger if you like a little spice.

I always order the burger special with an extra large orange whip. The sauce and yellow peppers go so good with the fries too. Definitely not like toms . The lettuce is fresh crispy good on the burger . Workers are great and always fast here . They know my order just by the sound of our voice when we pull up . Pictures won't do it any justice and it's all gone anyway
